Ukraine Claims 6 Aircraft Hit at Russian Airbase in Rostov
Zelenskyy said the overnight operation involved four Ukrainian agencies and hit a refinery processing about 15 million tons of crude a year, officials said.
- On Sept. 17, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Ukrainian forces executed a coordinated overnight operation, striking a military airfield in Rostov-on-Don and the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in Yaroslavl.
- Security Service , military intelligence , and Foreign Intelligence Service personnel executed the strikes to disrupt Russian logistics and revenue, continuing a strategic campaign to bring war consequences to Russian territory.
- Confirmed results included one An-12 transport plane, two An-26 aircraft, and three helicopters destroyed, while NASA satellite data and the independent channel Astra verified a fire at the airfield's parking apron.
- Rostov Oblast Governor Yury Slyusar confirmed a fire and power outages across four districts after drone debris damaged a transformer substation, though Russia's Defense Ministry issued no damage assessment.
- Recurring strikes at the airfield, which have occurred at least eight times this year, illustrate a sustained effort to systematically degrade Russian air defense capabilities in the region.
